Would be an awful shame if some hacker bricked every Switch in the world. Probably shouldn't be coding in a kill switch into consumer entertainment devices.
Whoops, I may have just given Nintendo a great idea to increase Switch 2 sales
- Honestly, people in states that allow nintendo to do shit like this kind of deserve it.
  
  For sure, we should have laws protecting ownership.
  
  I'd broaden that to laws protecting people. Currently, people look like a commodity in the US.
  
  We are sorely missing some serious laws about privacy.
  
  That and human rights, taxation of humongous incomes, against fascist takeovers, agaibst forced arbitration, etc
  Its painfully obvious now. I hope there is some way back.
  
  It is all very logical, unfortunately they don't write laws for the people in our current system. I am afraid it would take a lot of resistance to change things and most people have been lulled into a learned helplessness state.
